🇫🇷 So, Pavel Durov just dropped a bombshell about France trying to sneak in a mandatory "backdoor" into messaging apps, wanting access to user chats. The Senate gave it a thumbs up, but the National Assembly said "nope!" 🙅♂️
Durov pointed out that France could've been the first country without encryption in messengers — even dictatorships haven’t gone that far! 😳 Backdoors aren't just a playground for the police; they’re an open invite for hackers and foreign spies too.
He stressed that ditching encryption won’t deter criminals; they'll just switch to underground solutions while everyday users get left out in the cold. ❄️
And let's not forget: after 12 years, Telegram has never revealed user chats! 📱💬 Durov warns that the fight for privacy in Europe is far from over. Stay tuned! #PrivacyMatters #EncryptionIsKey
